Not a practicle solution at all, doesn’t make sense to spend money and space for a machine which also requires a lot of energy i imagine AND on top of that a person has to stand by it and do all that labor(which people won’t) only to do the job of larger better equipt facilities.

Why is the Onus on us to clean up, as if we made the choice of using plastic …… These companies made their choice and we are suffering, they should be held responsible and should pay the price not us

Thanks but I already have one and it’s 100x smaller. It’s called a nutri bullet.

Much too much work for a machine which should scan, classify, sort and separate garbage on its own.
Waiting for a 10th generation of this product where I can just throw unsorted and more importantly unprepared-for-it-specifically, garbage directly from a bin.

I laughed at the price. The key is to STOP using PLASTIC, not find a way to capitalize on peoples wallets so corporations can profit off of you. I’m gonna stick to my reusable steel bottle, thanks.

Funny machine, bassicly to have a recycle machine built in would make some sense! But only if you can put youre cans in it like a recycle bottle and the machine do it themself or it needs to be a bit smaller! It sounds logic but to get youre trash collected bye them don’t make sense as a household I think unless you can just put it outside!
Bassicly I think it would mke sense if it was a machine like the auto trash Can machine in big , to make it smaller and have more trash in less space or something! I’m pretty annoyed bye throwing away every day a bag off trash

This is a great first step for hopefully a future at home recycling system (like way in the future not anytime soon lol). The cost and limitations are a huge factor right now but it’s a good idea and hopefully one day we can have homes with built in systems for all materials and maybe a way to turn those into new products on site at your own home. Like use the plastic to make new patio tiles or containers etc

This would sure be fun to see in an office or a food court/mall, not sure if the home is the right place to start… especially if its that big and probably power hungry…

$3500 so someone can come pick up my prime recycled goods and sell it for profit, all while still paying the city for my recycling bin that will go unused. There’s a sucker born every minute I guess.

Sure am tired of the Juicero of _____. Throw my recycling in the recycling bin that is given for me for free with my garbage? No! Get an overengineered super expensive device to do the same thing while taking up a large amount of room in my home! Really got to stop feeding these guys egos. Not every idea you have is a good one.

This “green” thing or “save the earth” thing is being so exploitative. So what is the cost-benefit analysis of this unit? Not the price of it. How much damage to the earth is going into producing, maintaining, and running the gadget and how much benefit it is going to bring by what it does?

$3.5k to make the world a worse place? There is no way this thing does more good than harm to the environment.

Since when shredding became recycling?

March 24, 2022 at 3:27 am
Good point. It only adds shredding to the process. Nothing else changes.

Very skeptical about this. Yes specifically PLASTICS recycling is broken everywhere, however recycling anything else is working as intended. What’s the guarantee that this company will not just dump the problematic plastic waste it collects into a landfill/incinerator while turning a profit on the other things it recycles? I don’t see a point in using this instead of regular recycling, unless your specific council is not able to provide recycling services which nowadays is pretty rare in developed countries.

We could have this massive, probably extremely expensive, refrigerator sized machine in our kitchen…. Or beverage distributors could use real reusable or biodegradable materials.

Why would this not be sold to the recycling company? Why to the consumer to do extra steps. The recycling industry puts to much on the consumer

This unit would be better suited for a laboratory that uses small sampling sizes of ground material for……some purpose…..I don’t know what. For this to be worth having it would need to have nearly continuous use. Something much larger for use at the recycling center. Where it’s more efficient to recycle.

The corps that make these bottles should take them back, instead of home processing. Put this burden on the original bottle maker, not individual consumers!

Decent proof of concept. If they could add a tray where you could put in multiple items and walk away, and shrink it down to dishwasher size (or a little bigger with the tray), make sure it’s very energy efficient, and add a good revenue share and/or rental program. Then maybe they will it get to market. If not, they will probably need to market it to restaurants or grocery stores or apartment landlords who can offer it as a free service to their customers. It may work for families living off grid or far from a recycling center.

impractical. . to big!. to expensive!. no benefit for the end user. but a good concept that needs lots of work ahead for a consumer product. it needs to do its own sorting, remove the lids on its own during shredding. also add an composter that turns organic waste like paper, liquid waste from the machine and food waste into soil. then make it the size of a dish washer and you might have a good product. the containers can be emptied into the recycles bin and organic waste into the garden. Make that and I would buy one.

Why not increase the size and market to disposal companies? Having this at home is great, but the issue with recycling is that waste companies still have to sort materials from the truck, which is where the shreds are likely to wind up in. If this company can develop a large conveyer system that can sort waste from recyclables for waste management sites, they will make insane money off of leasing alone.

I’m not completely saying it’s a bad idea. I could see version 2.0 being more practical and cheaper. However, this looks way too complicated and expensive for a home appliance that’s not critical. Ie., not a fridge, dishwasher, or washing machine. For regular people, this isn’t as realistic. Maybe if it wad subsidized, or maybe if you get a recycling credit tax wise. Or significant discount for products made with recycled materials. It just seems too complicated for it to have an impact on even changing our global conservation by even 1%. I feel bad for being so negative on this, because I would like to see a more practical way for us to conserve globally. But we as people are the smallest factor in this. Government and manufacturers along with innovation is what’s needed. For us people, it’s easy for us to throw our refuse out in properly marked distribution. It’s not like we’re throwing trash on the streets (at least we shouldn’t be).
